What are the pros and cons of your height?

Asked By: TheatreLover22 22-25, F 9 months ago

How tall are you?

I'm 5'9" young woman and here are my ups and downs:

Pros: I can reach stuff, don't need a stool, I'm under 6'0" (Haha), finding a date wasn't an issue for me (which is the good part, even though I've only had one boyfriend), get to ride on most of the rides in amusement parks

Cons: Towering over everyone sometimes, being the same height or taller than guys, can't hide into small places. harder to find clothes sometimes

5'7
Pro-- don't always need a step stool. Can wear heels. Plenty of cute guys taller than me

Con-- need a step stool anyways. Pants are either too long or too short for me. Too many cute guys shorter than me.

According to my husband (who has over a foot on me) my height has some very nice pros.
Cons-need a step ladder to get things. My kids are taller than me and aren't in highschool yet.

I'm six feet tall, maybe six-one now.

I can reach stuff, climbing trees is easier, I can change lightbulbs without ladders, I put the star on the christmas tree.

Alternatively, I have to remember to duck at times. I'm worse at hide and seek & Manhunt. People think I'm intimidating them when I'm not trying to. It's hard not to laugh at people with Napoleonic complexes.
